Based on an East African folktale, this has many of the elements of a good childrens story. Good illustrations, unique and captivating story, and brief enough to keep a child's attention and interest throughout the book.3-8 year-olds should well enjoy this story.

A very cute and seemingly authentic book from Africa, relating a folk tale that is fun to read. Very nice illustrations with special attention to traditional media.

This book was just the one we were looking for, it helps to further illustrate our classroom visits with guinea fowl.
